Currently, after running 'guix pull', the Guix version will be reported by 'guix --version' as something like:
522d1b87bc88dd459ade51b1ee0545937da8d3b5 I think it would be really nice if instead it were something like: 2018-12-25-522d1b where the date is the commit's date (year, month, day) in UTC+0. That's shorter, more descriptive, and just as unique. (The chances of there being two commits in the same day with the same first 6 positions in the hash should be negligient.) The package name is currently something like: guix-522d1b87b That could become: guix-2018-12-25-522d1b which is a bit longer but more descriptive. I looked into guix/self.scm a bit but couldn't easily tell how difficult it would be to implement these changes. Thoughts? Worth it? Taylan
